EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY
Stenographer 8aved Employer's Fam
ily From a Long Summer With
out Fresh Bread.
This is a tale whoroln tho stenog
rapher was not only of vast assistanco
In tho husband's ofllco, but was In
valuablo to tho wife, as well, for at
least tho summer months. Tho family
bought ono of the attractlvo camps in
the Malno woods, well out of reach of
real helpful civilization and nbvor real

all tho groceries that tho ono thing
necessary to their happiness was not
among thorn a eomprossod yeast

was no placo whoro thoy could got
one; a summer of crackers stared
thorn In tho faco. Tho wlfo, In do
spalr, wrote to tho stenographer to
look up yeast data of all kinds at onco.
This valuublo young porson solved
tho problem with hor usual prompti
tude by going to a first class grocery
shop and leaving an order to havo
throo perfectly good yeast cakes sont
by mall throo times a wook at tho
market prlco of two cents each and
two cents for first-class postage. Tho
cakes arrived in porfect condition at
regular Intervals during tho Bummer,
and for onco tho wlfo joined tho hus

I am a man and I should dross liko

That is, I should rovol in velvota,

The Old Showman
He TelU How Ho Invented a
New Animal
By M. QUAD
CopyrlRtit, 1910. by tho McClure
Newnpupcr Hyndlcnte.
"Ocntlemcu," begun the old showman
tin his llttlo crowd of admirers usscm
bled to listen to his tnle, "did any of
you ever hear of an nnlinal called a
"guynstlcutus?"
"There never was such nn nnlmnl,"
replied one, "Thero Is such n word as
guyastlcutus, but it is a slang word.
When you cull a man n guynstlcutiw
you express your contempt for him."
"My friends, you aro wrong, nnd I
shall take great pleasure In convincing
you of tho fact I can't Ray that such
nn animal exists now, but ho surely did
forty years ago, for I Invented him
foysclf."
"Glvo us the yarn!" was cnlled out
from every one.
"Well, I was bond keeper of tho me
nagerie trnvellng with tho circus. We
had Hturtcd out of winter quarters with
five hyenas In the cage, but four of
them had gone dead on us. I guess It
was pneumonia that carried them off.
Tho one left was nn old he hyena, nnd
ho could stand any sort of weather and
tnko the bumps of tho country high
ways. However, after his companions
had departed this life wo snw n chnugo
In him. He didn't fall stek, but ho got
lonesomo and sulky.
"There were dally complaints that
our liycna was a frnud, and I was
wondering what wo could do about it
when tho boss camo to mo ono day
nnd said:
" 'Goorgo, that old hyenn is making
troubles for us. What's tho matter
with lilm anyhow?'
" 'I guess ho is tired of being a hy
enn,' I replied.
" 'But ho can't bo anything else,' can
he?'
" 'Why, wo can't make n bird of him,
but muybo I can mako some other ani
mal of him.'
" 'Then do It, man.'
"I changed tho hyena's food n dozen
times and gnvo him whisky to lap
Instead of wntcr," said tho old show
man, "but it didn't lmprovo him any,
nnd I set myself to wonder how I
could mako him over. Tho bright Idea
camo to mo nt last, and ono Sunday,
when wo had n Inzy dny of it, I bought
various paints and brushes. Thero
was a farmer's hired man hanging
around tho show. Ho bad deserted tho
plow for tho romanco of tho circus.
Ho had offered to work for $5 n week
nnd his board, but I had no room for
him. When I got tho idea of making
tho hyena over I beckoned to this chap
and said:
josuawny, i win give you so
week and your board If you will do
wliat I want you to do. It concerns
tho old byenn in tho cage over there,
I want to mako n guyastlcutus oC
him,
"Joshawny promised, nnd tho first
thing to do wns to tlo tho old hyena
up. Wo got ropes and straps nround
, his legs nnd a inuzzlo over his nose,
ana then went to work with tho paints.
Ho didn't glvo us much troublo; ho
wns too lonesomo nnd homesick for
that. Wo gavo him bright green ears:
I wo gavo him a bright red noso and
red eyebrows; wo spotted his body
noro and thero with green, red, blue,
yellow nnd black paints. Wo put a
dozen rings nround his tnIL nnd wo
painted his legs ono color nnd his, feet

J through with that hyena wo had to sit

"But what nbout the fatal day?" was

Overcoming Opposition.

13 novcr a sign of amlablo weakness;
only tho strongest can do it. Thore
foro such keeping sweet 1b an Irresist

convert It to friendliness ar agree
ment If anything can. Ono man who
is often right In his convictions, and
who Is ablo to express them clearly,
wonders why It Is that he has difficulty
in getting others to ngreo with him.
Tho wholo troublo lies In his over-son-slllveness
to tho disagreement of those,
whom ho would convince Tho Instant

opinion, ho "flares up," and his oppor
tunity and power nro gone. Another
man koeps undisturbed and smiling In
tho face of disagreement, and wins
men to Ills Bide In most that ho has to
say. Tho difference botween tho two

not dishonor our messago and loso our

ought to win.
8truck the Wrong Pitch.
A program had been arranged for
visiting day in tho school at Now

monotono announced Impressively,

There was a horrlflod silenco whllo
tho teacher struggled to control her
volco. "Dan hns always rehearsed
with tho piano," oho explained. "Be
gin again, Dan, and pitch It lower this
time." To tho relief of tho audience
Dan began again, "My God, from out
whoso bounteous hand " and finished
without further mishap.
Why He Cut His Hair.
Thoro Is a certain surgeon in Boston
who hnd, somo months ago, a very
splendid crop of hair. Although tho
Burgeon is not old, his hair Is snow-
white, and ho is very proud of Its
boauty. Ho woro it parted in tho mid

luxuriantly on elthor side of tho part
Tho ImpulBo toward a chango in halr-
drcsslng camo to tho surgeon in this
manner: Ho had operated upon a
woman, and was bending over hor as
sho began to como out of tho ether.
Sho oponcd her eyes for a moment,
and then closed them again. Then
with a long sigh nnd in a rapt voice
she Bald: "What a beautiful whlto
chrysanthemum!" Tho students preS'
ont exploded, and now the surgeon
wears his nair cut as closo as a gen
tleman may.
The Proudest Moment
Oh, no! A fellow's proudest mo
ment was not tho tlmo ho camo out
on top In his first scrap with "tho kid
next door." Nor was It tho first time
ho "saw" Mary Jane homo from tho
pnrty. Nor, again, was it when Bho
"named tho day."
It wasn't when ho made his biggest
business deal; got his largest raise;
bocamo n partner In tho concern and
was paying an lncomo tax.
And whllo this, too, was a proud mo
ment, tho proudest of all was not
whon tho first-born camo, nor was it
whon tho youngster first lisped "dado."
All tnoso wero big moments, mo
ments most overy follow remembors
long and happily, but tho real proud

A day or two ago a small boy with
two pennies in his possession entered

ono to suit him ho handed the pro
prietor a penny. Tho prico of tho
card was flvo contB and tho proprietor
said ho did not havo any ponny cards,
but tho wistful look on the boy's face
prompted tho proprietor to pocket his
loss and let tho boy keep tho card.
Then tho boy produced his other pen

the proprietor promptly refused to
do any moro business with the youth

Good Manners Have Value.
If children aro taught to bo deferen
tial to their elders, to bo pollto and
EonerouB to their playfellows, and aro
instructed in all tho small courtesies
of tho tnblo and drawing room pre
scribed by etiquette, thoy will havo
boon given a heritage by their paronta
that will bo of Inestimable value In
after life. For a thorough acquaint
ance with tho fundamental rules of
good breeding gives an caso to man

way; and It helps wonderfully in the
fight for BUCcesB we all muBt wage.
